SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Keeping an Obsidian vault organized becomes difficult as notes, journals, tasks, and references accumulate. This Skill provides the canonical knowledge of the LifeOs vault layout so an AI assistant can place, name, tag, and template notes correctly every time. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Folder Layout Reference: Defines the numbered folder hierarchy from 00 Inbox through 07 Indexes, including journal subfolders by year and review cadence. - Note Type Mapping: Maps each note type (daily, weekly, meeting, atomic, study, project, finance, task) to its Templater template, target folder, and type/ tag. - Frontmatter Conventions: Specifies required date, tags, and area fields following the #type/, #area/, #lang/ taxonomy. - Use Case: When you ask the assistant to create a meeting note, it uses this Skill to select the Meeting.md template, save it under 02 Notes/Meetings/, and apply the type/meeting tag with correct frontmatter. ## Quick Start Create a new meeting note for today's design review using the vault structure conventions.

Frequently Asked Questions about vault-structure

FAQPage Schema
How do I organize an Obsidian vault folder structure?▼

The LifeOs vault uses numbered top-level folders: 00 Inbox for quick capture, 01 Journal for dated reviews, 02 Notes for typed notes, 03 AI for generated summaries, 04 References for attachments, 05 Tasks, 06 Templates, and 07 Indexes for dashboards.

How do I create a meeting note in Obsidian with templates?▼

Use the `Meeting.md` Templater template and save the note in `02 Notes/Meetings/` with the `type/meeting` tag. Include frontmatter with the creation date, tags array, and an area such as work or personal.

What frontmatter should Obsidian notes include?▼

Every note should have a `date` field in YYYY-MM-DD format, a `tags` array following the `#type/`, `#area/`, `#lang/` taxonomy, and an `area` field set to one of work, personal, health, learning, or finance.

Which Obsidian plugins does this vault structure rely on?▼

The vault uses Templater for note creation, TaskNotes for task file management, Dataview for indexes and dashboards, and Obsidian Git for automatic backup. Notes remain plain Markdown, so the structure works without the plugins.

Where should daily journal notes go in an Obsidian vault?▼

Daily notes belong in `01 Journal/YYYY/Daily/MM-MonthName/`, using the `Daily.md` template and the `type/daily` tag. Weekly, monthly, quarterly, semiannual, and annual reviews each have parallel subfolders under the same year.
